The President of PPSC has the sole authority to cancel a class. Whether an instructor has a planned or last-minute absence in teaching their course, they should follow the following guidelines to ensure that the best effort is made to find a substitute instructor:
Always contact your department chair. As direct supervisors of adjunct instructors - department chairs may be able to arrange for a substitute instructor and they are the only individuals able to initiate substitute pay requests.
You should prepare a general outline of what materials or activities you planned to complete in your course for your substitute instructor.
A D2L message and an email to your students are appropriate - especially if you intend to adjust instruction for the class period.
Contact BPS staff for any questions.
